Doug Pederson confirmed the report during his press conference on Tuesday.
Originally, it was reported the Eagles "did not believe" Peters tore his ACL, essentially meaning he would be able to play again this season.
The Eagles, who have already lost their most dynamic offensive player Darren Sproles to a torn ACL earlier in the year, also lost Jordan Hicks to a torn Achilles -- Pederson also confirmed. At 34 and 35 years old respectively, who knows how much longer Sproles and Peters have in the NFL.
Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers! Better believe the comeback is going to be real. Psalm 28:7 #FlyEagelsFly pic.twitter.com/TO6qppGb9y

At 6-1, the Eagles hold the NFL's best record, but will have to power through without three of their best players.
